Afrikaans-English Codeswitching and Convergence

Fritz Ponelis

Abstract Massive English influence indicates that colloquial Afrikaans is converging with English. Aspects of this set of sweeping linguistic changes include codeswitching as well as wideranging phonological, lexical and grammatical borrowing. The profound linguistic influence of English on colloquial Afrikaans is driven by powerful semantic forces such as conceptualization, metaphor and stylistics. Strong anti-English purism has restricted the influence of English on Standard Afrikaans while at the same time contributing to the widening gulf between standard and colloquial varieties of Afrikaans. Continued large-scale English influence on Afrikaans may in the end compromise the integrity of Afrikaans as a distinct language.

Ontwikkeling van klusters op sluitklanke in Afrikaans

Fritz Ponelis

T-apokopee, soos in lig < ligt, (hy) loop < loopt en gemaak < gemaakt, is ′n kenmerk van Afrikaans-Hollands. Die geografiese verspreiding van die verskynsel op die Nederlandse taalgebied het sedert die sewentiende eeu verander, en die toestand in Afrikaans-Hollands moet in vroeer dialektiese verband beskryf word. Naas die dialektiese verspreiding moet ook ander faktore in berekening gebring word, by name algemene sluit-klankapokopee in byvoorbeeld hem ‘hemp’ en wil ‘wild’, wat uit die vernekulere Afrikaans-Hollands van Ma-leissprekende interleksprekers versterkend op t-apokopee ingewerk het.
